Since her arrival in Spain, the Baroness kept them away from the media spotlight, although she made an exception in 2008, posing for the cover of the magazine ¡HOLA! with them. Despite her secrecy, she has not been able to avoid comments about the identity of the semen donor, which many pointed directly to the fact that she was Borja Thyssen (43).
